Notes on 7 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Memory bandwidth: AMD also lists 1995 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth including Infinity Cache; 432 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.

Performance and memory

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT handles heavy rendering workloads faster with 3,456 shader cores and 35.2 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. It also packs 12 GB of video memory across a 192-bit bus, giving it more headroom for high-resolution textures than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060.

Games and apps load complex assets smoothly thanks to a memory speed of 18 Gbps and 48 MB of last-level cache. By comparison, the NVIDIA card features 8 GB of video memory and 24 MB of cache.

Power and efficiency

The NVIDIA card runs much cooler and draws significantly less electricity, requiring a board power of just 115 W. This lower energy demand lets you use a smaller power supply unit rated at 550 W. NVIDIA users also benefit from a lower launch price of $299. Meanwhile, the AMD card demands a higher board power of 245 W and a 700 W power supply unit, backed by an initial cost of $449.

Connectivity and display

The AMD card features three DisplayPort outputs supporting version 2.1 at UHBR13.5 link rates, alongside one HDMI 2.1 port. It also connects to the motherboard using all 16 PCIe lanes for maximum data throughput. NVIDIA takes a slightly different approach with two HDMI 2.1a ports and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, though its slot width of 2 slots is slimmer than the 2.5 slots required by the AMD model.
